Zuckerberg's Meta Takes Down No Kings Instagram During Protest Day
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Meta suspended the No Kings Instagram account during a mass protest day, then restored it.
During a day of widespread rallies for early voting and against Trump's election sabotage, Meta suspended the primary No Kings Instagram account without warning or reason. After backlash, Meta restored the account visibility after 90 minutes but blocked the account admin from posting for three more hours, censoring the coalition during the action. The article notes no evidence the suspension was politically motivated.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly view Meta's action as politically motivated alignment with the government, not a glitch. Many argue tech CEOs favor themselves and advertisers, not users. Some cite the inauguration photo as evidence of oligarchic unity. A few offer counterpoint: the suspension lasted only 90 minutes and auto-flags happen, but most dismiss this as insufficient. Several urge voting and grassroots organizing as the real solution.
